History of Traditional Eyeliner (Kohl)

Kohl is more than just a cosmetic; it is an ancient cultural symbol. Its origins can be traced back to the Bronze Age, where it was used by both men and women across various civilizations. Beyond its role in beauty, kohl served as protection from the harsh desert sands. A notable historical figure associated with kohl is Zarka Al-Yamama, who famously used it as a shield against environmental elements.

Kohl EL Batoul is a small project that carries the essence of authentic Moroccan heritage. We are committed to reviving these beautiful traditions by involving rural women in the Asni region, ensuring the highest quality of our product and supporting Amazigh women.
